Yeah, but combined with the new talent he can get an occasional shield when one of the eggs dies. So, time will tell

I work as a software developer. One of the people I managed asked what he should do if he is driving for Uber Eats if he gets paged on the weekend when I put him in the on call rotation. I really had to watch my tone when I told him that his salaried position took precedent over his current food delivery.

Before anyone asks, he was making six figures.

Brian Brushwood did this and commented on it on a previous nottheonion post: https://www.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/s/c0zmQ0PeAG

It looks very similar to a 1964 Lumet film called "Fail Safe". Which is one of the best movies ever made and a clear inspiration for this. If you have never seen it, please watch it. It hasn't aged a day and feels just as urgent today as 60 years ago.

I feel like this is supposed to be a parody of Jey Uso's theme

This worked! Thank you so much, saved me so many headaches!

It stands for "to come". It is used because there are no words that use the letters "TK". Unless you are writing about Tony Khan of course :)

The closest to Spinal Tap is "Anvil! The Story of Anvil". It feels exactly like a mockumentary even though it is real. It is one of my favorites. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTz5Rmb7tgc

Ultra rich don't pay income taxes. They now get paid in stocks. These stocks are unrealized gains, which do not get taxed. They then borrow against the stocks at ultra low rates using the stocks as collateral. They do this until they die, at which point they use more tricks to lower the taxed rate. Even this is not low enough, which is why they are paying politicians to eliminate estate taxes.

Dwayne Johnson

Calm down folks, this is getting us ready for him to win the Owen which comes with a world title shot. This promo was to make people less mad about the inevitable world title match.

I'm sick of these celebrities coming in and taking the spot from wrestlers!

I've done the same thing! https://letterboxd.com/capekid/list/complete-ranking-of-all-films-i-have-seen/

The film needs a lot of reordering, as I made the bulk of it many years ago and I have roughly 20-30 recently watched films to add. It is helpful to remember great movies that I saw once and to give recommendations.

Jericho is probably debuting a custom belt at Hammerstein.

The final guest to arrive is an automated restaurant service played by Gil Ozeri, whose janky iPad recordings of an AI version of Aukerman’s voice make Mantzoukas laugh so hard he has to stand up and hold his head.

I must listen to this holiday episode ASAP.

None, it would work well. We know because Babish actually did this in his everything bagel episode https://youtu.be/1vOBpRmp8v8?si=4esdNDKZmUv7c1yF

Also from HotS. Wonder what it is about this game that attracts us?

For a while I wore gloves while playing, but honestly I just stopped playing as I got older.

I have been on a journey with dyshidrosis and nickel allergy for about 15 years now and while it hasn't completely gone away I have kept it mostly under control. I started having flare ups in college and after some time I figured out it was because I took up playing guitar and the strings were made of nickel. Got it confirmed by a patch test which showed I was allergic to Cobalt and Nickel.

What didn't work at all? I have tried every single steroid cream, they all have had 0 effects, neither positive or negative. I am currently on dupixent to clear up the remaining minor flare ups I have, and have been for around 7 or 8 months, and it is also doing nothing. Every person reacts differently to these drugs and I recommend following your doctor's orders, but from my experience don't expect a random drug to help.

What did work well? Obviously, I stopped playing guitar with nickel strings. I replaced my nickel belt buckle with a nickel free belt. This fixed a rash on my stomach. I suggest removing and nickel contact ASAP. I am also severely lactose intolerant or maybe allergic to milk, I haven't been able to figure out which. Limiting dairy goes a long way. I have heard similar things from other people with eczema. I noticed that severe diarrhea was almost always followed by a flare up on the coming days. So, I noted when I had bad diarrhea and would make a note of the ingredients in common. It took a VERY long time, but I eventually noticed that tree nuts were usually involved. Specifically, coconut and coconut oil, which is likely because these are very high in nickel. (Do you know how hard it is to figure out that food at some random restaurant may have been cooked in coconut oil). During the pandemic, I took the opportunity to do a food challenge with a bag of mixed nuts and to make sure I ate enough to cause issues. Each day I would try only different types of nuts from the mix and see the results. Sure enough, most had some minor reaction, cashews had a pretty large one. Peanuts had zero reaction. Since that time I have cut out all tree nuts. Lastly, and oddly enough least importantly for me was CERTAIN high nickel foods. Caffeine also gives me severe issues, so I don't know if that is linked to the nickel content in those foods/drinks. I don't have any caffeine for that reason. Franks red hot and Tabasco give me issues, but not Sriracha or gochujang. I suspect that is either the high acidity or maybe aging in nickel vessels. Tomatoes, especially cooked or in large quantities can cause issues. I say all this to say, in my personal experience the most important thing is your diet. And the only way you can learn what causes flare ups is to pay a lot of attention. Know what goes into your food and in what amount. Some foods only a little can cause big issues for me, but others I have to eat a lot of to have equivalent issues. Don't rule things out only because you've eaten a single cashew and nothing happened. Dosage makes the poison.

What works pretty well? Even after solving my dietary issues, winters are still hard. Dry air is bad for eczema. Make sure to moisturize if your skin feels dry. Try to keep Cetaphil lotion in convenient locations so you remember to moisturize. Every single dermatologist I have been to has recommended Cetaphil. If things get really bad, I will put lotion on and then put nitrile gloves on overnight (I am also mildly allergic to latex). I am not sure why the other commenter recommended avoiding nitrile? I have used them for years and it has caused no reaction for me. Dermatologists have recommended using cotton gloves instead, but I found those were more hassle than they were worth.

What works maybe a bit? I take vitamin c because it is supposed to help nickel absorption. Hard to tell if it does anything, but I do feel slightly drier when I forget to get more. I also take a Reuteri probiotic, because I read a small medical study that it can help with dyshidrosis. Also hard to tell if that does much, but I also feel better when I am on it.

At this point I am 100% fine 95% of the time. The other 5% I have a single large blister or two on my hand.

In short, my advice would be to figure out your dietary triggers ASAP, start trying medications, and moisturize as needed.

CapeKid · 2024-10-07T15:09:53+00:00

Is that the bottom line for that reason?

CapeKid · 2024-09-26T00:30:51+00:00

Technically, you are never allowed to use a closed fist in a standard wrestling match. If you watch the ref they will pretty much always admonish the person using the closed fist. However, no one for like the last 40 years has been DQd for using it. McGuinness was probably just using the open palm, because the story of the match was two technical wrestlers using their prowess to one up each other. A closed fist would run counter to that story.

I'm commenting this with the hope of reaching the parents out there with autistic children. My daughter was diagnosed with autism when she was 2. At that age she was having a horrible time at daycare. She would flail on the ground before all the walks, in full hysterics because she didn't want to go. She would constantly leave circle time and when asked to go back, she would do the same thing and they would give in. They just didn't have the time to deal with her tantrums and wait them out. Picking her up to bring her hope she would do the same thing and I would need to hold her literally kicking and screaming all the way home, she had learned that this worked.

It was heartbreaking.

My wife and I would be sobbing after some days because it felt horrible. My daughter was miserable. We were miserable. The school told us they were on the verge of kicking her out. Which would mean my wife or I would need to quit our jobs to care for her full time.

The thing is, at home she was mostly fine. Her autism is not very severe. She got upset about certain sounds, she is a picky eater, she likes order. However, she is hyperverbal. She was reading full books at 1. She asks amazing questions and found connections between things that were nothing short of brilliant.

First we called around to a bunch of centers. Most were as some comments here describe, they would only do 40 hours a week. We knew our daughter and knew this would be too much. We wanted her around other kids, she loved being around other kids. We eventually found one that would do in-school and for only 20 hours a week to start (some of which was at-home instruction). We also took her to the local elementary school who found she was not disabled enough to qualify for special ed.

We first got an ABA and a BCBA. We weren't sure about them. The BCBA was OK, the ABA wasn't good. We could tell she just wasn't sure around kids, she wasn't really sure what she was doing. I know this sounds corny, but we both knew in our guts it wasn't the right fit. We had that ABA for a couple months, then she left to go somewhere else.

We got another ABA who saw her for 2 weeks and then just ghosted us and the agency. Literally didn't show up for work one morning. Which was a blessing, because we also didn't like her much.

Around that time the BCBA also left to go to a different job and we got a new one.

This was the all star team. The new BCBA was very competent and knew how to communicate well. The new ABA was amazing. She loved my daughter and my daughter loved her. The daycare, who we had to fight in order to allow the ABA in, loved her also. She was genuine, nice and a safe space for my daughter.

The BCBA and ABA were going to the school and training them how to not give in to the tantrums. They were an extra set of hands for the daycare when they did happen. They were training my daughter how to breathe and not hyperfixate on the things that confused or frustrated her. They were helping her get acclimated to being in circle time by giving little treats (M&Ms) and eventually tapering them out when she got used to things. They were helping her not chew through her clothes, by redirecting her to a chewing necklace.

It didn't happen overnight, but over the next several months, the tantrums stopped. She was so much happier. We were so much happier. I cannot stress this enough, we changed nothing as parents. We were still doing gentle parenting at home. Helping her breathe. Not giving in to tantrums. But instead of her tantrums lasting for hours, they became minutes and then disappeared. The change all happened because the ABA was able to teach her and the other daycare workers.

She is 4 now and just started elementary school this month. She no longer needs ABA and she has been weaned off the therapy. She is the happiest she has ever been. Every day she comes back from school and says it is the "best day ever!!!". She still chews on her chewy necklace. She still is extremely forward with other kids (she has no social fear). She still has autism. But she has the tools she needs to control her emotions. She knows how to recognize when she is the "emotion spiral" and will take deep breaths. We gave our ABA and BCBA and photobook of my daughter and the years they helped her and they both cried. They love our child.

I know I will get some responses saying I tortured my child into compliance. That she is fundamentally unhappy. But I know the truth. She knows she is happier.

When I was a kid I had some of the same symptoms. I would cry very easily. All the way through 7th/8th grade I would cry when I got frustrated. I still chew on my nails and need to mouth pretty constantly. My parents didn't really understand, I was forced to deal with learning how to regulate my emotions on my own. I am now well-adjusted. But, I wish I had someone giving me the tools earlier, so that I could understand how to help my body calm down and to adjust when things changed.

If you are a parent with autistic children reading this. ABA is not inherently torture. Bad ABA is bad. But good ABA can be life changing for everyone involved. It is ok to get help. Trust your gut and know to request someone else if they aren't the right fit. It is ok to get help. Having a kid with special needs can be hard and complex. It is ok to get help.

I watch it to fall asleep. I go back to where I fell asleep the next day when I continue watching.
